MC7.1

 - Surround Monitor Controller

Pristine, ultra low noise & transparent circuit design gives you an accurate
representation of your mix whether it be surround or stereo.

There are a total of 20 input sources. These include two separate 7.1 inputs (one
via balanced jacks and one via 25 pin D-sub) with a through output to send to a
multitrack recorder, for example. A Stereo input via Neutrik combijacks, and a Top
panel 3.5mm AUX Input & Level Control for connecting MP3 players, smartphones
or tablets etc.

3x Sets of Speaker Outputs. One 7.1 (or 8 Speakers in any configuration), one
Stereo Left/Right pair, and one Mono/Sub. Each can be switched individually &
simultaneously or give A/B comparisons. All eleven outputs have level trims to
provide precise channel matching and ease of calibration.

Each of the eight 7.1 speakers can be cut or soloed individually.

7.1 channels can be mixed down to 5.1, Stereo and Mono, though any configuration
of up to 8 monitors should be possible depending on the source and the speaker
layout.

Stereo outputs (including those mixed down from surround) can be monitored via
the main stereo speaker outputs or the FL and FR from the surround speakers.

When in stereo operation comprehensive Mix Checking facilities Including Low,
Mid, High Solo; Dim; L/R Mute; Phase Reverse and more, help check every aspect
of your Mix & Provide Ultimate Control.

Volume can be set via the Variable Front Panel Knob or a Preset Control. Each
has excellent channel matching and smooth feel.

2x Headphone Amplifiers with Individual Level Control.

Built In Talkback with Level Control, Internal or External Microphone, Switching via
Desktop or Footswitch, & Internal Routing to Headphones and also a Mono Output
Jack.

The MC7.1 is all analogue so won’t need to be rebooted due to software crashes,
and doesn’t require firmware updates.

Desktop 'wedge' form factor with a rugged steel chassis and a Kensington security
slot for added protection.

The ability to "mix down" the surround mix to the FL and FR speakers OR the
independent Stereo main speakers combined with the comprehensive cut or solo

matrix means any combination of the surround channels can be listened to in the
front mains. Want to focus in on the rear channels? Simply mix down to the front
stereo speakers then solo them out of the mix! Whilst soloing out the centre or LFE

channels give a central mono representation across the fronts or stereo mains!

Speaker level matching with switchable Mono/Sub output, the popular Low/Mid/

High band solo feature, Internal Talkback Mic with footswitch control, and External
Talkback Mic input are all brought over from the MC3.1, completing the rich array of
features available on the MC7.1.
